The Olympics is all horseshit anyway. Bunch of rich kids battling it out for 6% gold medals. I don’t see why you care, tbh. The Olympics is all horseshit anyway.

(They're all flexing, shirtless, while wearing their bronze medals.) Have to offer a minor correction, though: many elite male gymnasts do start rather young. The USA Gymnastics bios for this year's Olympic team mentions that two (Raj Bhavasar and Justin Spring) started at age three, another (Jonathan Horton) at age five, and the rest at age seven. Since there is such an emphasis on strength at the Olympic level, though, boys in gymnastics work on tumbling, flexibility, the fundamentals of each apparatus, and developing their body's positional awareness. When the muscles finally arrive, they can start mixing in the crazy flips and twists. I was half-expecting a link to that beefcake photo of the US men’s gymnastics team.
